Caribbean Sol(utions)

After Heather’s recent post about processed products, I thought I’d add in my two cents (after all, I am a hippie).   Sure, I’m pretty minimalist in the beautifying department, but I am a girl!!  So what’s a hippie to do?! Allow me to introduce Caribbean Sol They have biodegradable everything, including sunscreen, lotion, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, and even self tanner… According to Dr. Ginger’s “worst, better, best” classifications, the “worst” products have parabens (ew, toxic, ew), while the “best” are natural and paraben free. Caribbean Sol’s products are made from all organic, biodegradable ingredients. PLUS,… Read more >

drizzle my frizzle

Ugh, my hair is NOT cool with this weather.  NOT cool man, NOT cool. Today’s food photos are nowhere to be found…I’m not sure where they vanished off to, but the culprit is either my camera or computer (and based on my recent technology-challenged history, it’s the computer).  It’s a shame, too, because I went to Whole Foods on the way home from work (killed the weekly monthly budget), and there were some major food porn pictures from the hot bar. I guess my computer was jealous of the deliciousness going on, and wanted to eat… Read more >

Raw Blah

I didn’t realize (raw) Wednesday had arrived (already?!) until I was making my lunch last night.  I guess that’s what happens when your schedule is completely random.  So this is what I packed to eat…but I wasn’t really feeling it. …so THIS is what I actually ate!   I heart this place.  There’s one in Union Square (easy walking distance from where I work).  My ravenous appetite was STILL in full force today, so I polished off the apple and odwalla bar by 9 am…meaning by the time I got off the unit for my… Read more >

Supportive like underwire

First of all, I’d like to start off by thanking itsawrapteacher for sharing her love.  She passed along this …so cute, right?  I think she’s such a lovely, fabulous lady, I hope she knows it!  I, too, feel the support of this entire blog community on a daily basis, so I feel like I should pass on the warm & fuzzies. I’m supposed to pay it forward to 7 peeps, which is damn near ridic since everyone deserves it, BUT…K, Andrea, Julie, Lara, Jess, Caroline and Brooke – you are true gems! Sure, it’s silly… Read more >

Carb-o loading for fun

Froth-a-licious! It was a VERY berry morning.  Strawberry chobz + even more strawberries. These were the Arnold Schwarzenegger of strawberries.  They were SO huge, I think I only needed 4 to fill the bowl to the brim! See!!  Massive!  For lunch, I made a Philly NY cheese steak seitan wrap…yeahhhhh, my version has nada to do with the greasy, cheesy, meaty dish made famous by the city of brotherly love.  Oddly enough though, seitan with veggie slices kinda reminds me of the artery clogging sammie (as gross as that is to admit).  Fortunately, my wrap… Read more >
